Netflix Canceled ‘One Day at a Time’ & the Internet Is in Mourning – Remezcla

Our worst fears have come true: Netflix did not renew the Cuban family sitcom One Day at a Time. Fans of the show had been rallying support and urged others to watch using the hashtag #RenewODAAT. In a statement, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said, “This was a very difficult decision and we’re thankful to all the fans who’ve supported the series, our partners at Sony, and all the critics who embraced it. While it’s disappointing that more viewers didn’t discover One Day at a Time, I believe the series will stand the test of time.”

The streaming giant also tweeted a longer explanation of their decision.

Thank you Norman Lear for bringing this series back to television. Thank you Gloria Calderon Kellett & Mike Royce for always making us laugh and never shying away from bravely and beautifully tackling tough subject matter in a meaningful way

And to anyone who felt seen or represented — possibly for the first time — by ODAAT, please don’t take this as an indication your story is not important. The outpouring of love for this show is a firm reminder to us that we must continue finding ways to tell these stories.
